On certain C30 vehicles, the Firestone 16x6 disc wheels may crack in the drop centre portion of the rim. If a crack were to occur on a wheel with a tube type tire mounted to it and remain undetected, the crack could spread and eventually split the wheel resulting in rapid air pressure loss from the tire. This could cause loss of vehicle control and crash without prior warning.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1984150.
